Chris Pratt Reveals How He Blew His First $75,000 Paycheck: 'It Went Very Quickly'
HuffPost
The Marvel star hilariously recalled dreams of buying a yacht and investing his seeming fortune, before suddenly wondering, “Where’d that money go?”
Chris Pratt will never forget how quickly he spent his first major paycheck.
The Marvel actor and “Jurassic World” star has come a long way since his “Parks and Recreation” days on television, but he recently told SiriusXM’s Sway Calloway that his first $75,000 didn’t last long, recalling that “it went very quickly.”
“I was under the impression that I would never run out of money,” Pratt said. “The first paycheck I got, I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ ... I had lived on very little money for a long time, so the first big job I got — I remember it was called a Schedule F job, and this was a TV movie.
“I got paid $75,000,” he continued, before using George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” melody to add: “I’m never gonna wait again. Fuck you bitches, I am leaving.”
He went on, “Then about two months later I was like, ‘Where’d that money go?’”
